My great-grandfather, John W. Vinson, came to Montezuma as a physician when Dr Smith died according to some old family notes. This would have been around 1872. Anyone...

IF Dr Smith was buried at Felton Cemetery the only listing that i see on www.findagrave.com that fits the time period is record #53518557 of Allen DeLonia Smith who died 3 Oct 1871 . There is no information on his occupation though. The contributor was C T Lewis.

Bessie and May were daughters of John Wesley Vinson (1845-1885) and Willie Ham Vinson (1861-1944). May (1879-1969) is my grandmother. Bessie was born and died in 1882. A third child John Clifford (1884-1958) is buried in Florida.
